1·1 day agoWe’re all trying to find the guy who did this
That’s why they call it the news!
According to all sources, the street’s the place to go.
Humidity’s rising, too. However the barometer’s getting low.
EU-based news channel.
Hydrogen can be used to make fertilizer and hydrogen can be produced via water and electricity.
So in the end, the only way corruption gets stopped is when other corrupt people/organizations stand to lose money on it, or even just not make as much money as they otherwise would.
Not trying to be a smartarse here but what on Earth is a P-cup!? The largest I’ve ever heard of is an I-cup; in my imagination a P-cup engulfs the planet. How do you live???
War criminals do get brought to justice. But it requires that their opponents fight until the war is totally won, which is not something that is often done. Most wars end in a negotiated truce. Wars like WW2 where it doesn’t stop until one side surrenders unconditionally and completely submits to occupation by the other? That’s less common. It happens, but not often. But when it does? Yeah, that’s when you get Nuremberg trials.
Do Ukraine hunt civilians? I haven’t heard anything to that effect. In fact everything I have heard about Ukrainian strategy and logistics suggests to me that they’d consider that to be a waste of a drone. And Ukraine aren’t doing so well in this war that they’d consider themselves at liberty to waste precious drones on killing random individual Russian civilians.
The man actually survived. He suffered blast wounds, shrapnel wounds and a concussion, but seems to be otherwise fine. I don’t even see any disfigurement:
So yeah, it’s not a snuff film.
On what evidence are you basing this claim of it being a false flag?
How do I know?
Well, what are the alternatives? Are you suggesting that Ukraine targets its own civilians with drones? Or are you suggesting that, say, Turkiye is sending drones into Ukraine to target Ukrainian civilians?
How does Ukraine know?
The debris from the drone can be inspected and the type of drone can probably be identified. Different countries use different drones.
Why do you ask?
EDIT: And according to Zelenskyy, the Russians have even admitted to it, though I don’t know what he bases that on.
I wonder will there be many more opt-outs. Having seen how much the EU has benefitted Europe and allowed us to defend our regional interests through (admittedly imperfect) solidarity, I’d certainly like to see ECOWAS sow and reap the same rewards, and maybe my analysis is overly simplistic, but I’d guess that a single currency is a significant part of that recipe.
The fact that he’s busy with Iran is half the reason this is happening. Trump needs a win and probably reckons that he can quickly drive a tit-for-tat escalation over Greenland oil rights in time for the US midterm elections. Right now, his approval ratings are in the toilet, even to a certain extent with voters who have voted for him before… and it’s not because his voters disapprove of his law enforcement policies or because of his being all over the Epstein files. It’s because right now he’s demonstrating major weakness in Iran. He looks weak, and that’s the one thing he can’t afford to be seen to be.
My point is that he obviously sees Greenland as a quick win. He has some basis for this opinion: Europe is currently hopelessly dependent on the USA for our security. We’re working on fixing that, but aside from a few exceptions, we’ve only been working on it for a few years; we haven’t spent decades preparing for a “what if the USA tries to fuck us?” scenario the way Iran has. The USA is busy with Iran, but we’re busy with Russia in a way that the USA simply isn’t. Right now the EU has Russia sniffing around its eastern border, and a sudden US rug-pull could be disastrous. Both sides are aware of that, which is why the EU has been trying de-escalation so far.
Trump, like Putin, will keep pushing for as long as he’s allowed - but the solution of “stand up to him” only works if we can follow through. You don’t pull a gun if you’re not willing to fire it. Acting tough now and then quickly capitulating later wouldn’t help, so the key question is “if we push back and Trump doesn’t back down, can we put our money where our mouth is? How far are we willing to go with this if it turns into brinksmanship?”. I honestly don’t know what the answer to that question is, but European strategists are better briefed on the logistics of the situation than I am, so hopefully they do, and react accordingly. I suspect that the European response will be subtle but firm, moving JUST ENOUGH resources into Greenland’s vicinity to let Trump know that if he DOES try something, it would get messy and wouldn’t be over quickly enough to give him the quick boost he’s looking for.
